Specializing in hairstyles for special occasions and events, Angelica’s objective is to give every client a feeling of confidence they didn’t have before sitting in her chair. She says the scholarship will allow her to learn, develop and create techniques that empower her clients and her own passion for lifelong learning. “Behind my chair I am a hairstylist, but beyond my chair I will always be a student who wants to make the person in my chair an individual who wants to conquer the world,” says Angelica.
